A post on
Battle.net from Dustin Browder announces he is stepping down from his role
as Game Director for Heroes of the Storm, Blizzard's MOBA. He introduces
his replacement as Alan Dabiri, saying he's worked with the 20-year Blizzard
veteran over the past few months on the transition. Here's a bit on what's going
on:

Over the last few months, I have been transitioning my
responsibilities to Alan Dabiri, a 20-year Blizzard veteran and a fellow Heroes
of the Storm fanatic. In fact, since StarCraft entered the Nexus in September,
the Heroes team has been releasing some of our best content to date all without
my daily involvement and I’ve been thoroughly blown away with what they have
delivered. For those who haven’t seen him on BlizzCon panels or doing
interviews, Alan has had a hand in nearly every aspect of Heroes since the
beginning, both in his role as our technical director and as part of the team’s
collaborative development process. Alan is also a passionate member of the
community, and he’s always in touch with what’s happening on Reddit, in our
forums, and wherever you’re talking about Heroes. He’s been relentlessly working
to make Heroes better for years, and I’m excited that he’ll be continuing to
push the game forward as game director.

The Heroes of the Storm team is one of the best game teams I have ever had the
honor of serving on. I cannot believe how much work and love went into turning
what started as a tiny mod into the epic experience that it has become today.
And the team just continues to pour their passion, dedication, and expertise
into patches, updates, and awesome new game features. 2017 is going to be a huge
year for Heroes of the Storm, with new Heroes, Battlegrounds, a massive
progression update, improvements to our ladder and matchmaking systems, new
social systems, new Brawls, and more.
